Another day of OTA's and another post from me regarding some of the main points/surprises...

From Chris Brown

-No Peters, Losman or Evans today.  Some speculation that Peters may want a new deal .  This is unfounded and I don't believe that as a possibility yet.  Chris Brown hopes to get an update tomorrow .

-Another good day for the DB's.  Greer had a good day, proving he's once again a top practice player. 

-McKelvin didn't see the first team reps he saw yesterday.  They went to James today, but it sounds like the staff wants to get as many guys as possible first team reps.  I think the top 4 CB's seem pretty set already.  Unless injury or a big surprise from  Youboty/Corner during the summer vaults them ahead of others, I think this will continue.

-The DT's have all been rotating between the two positions. I like the versatility we have in those 4.  Now we just need them to improve the run D and be a bigtime factor this season.

-The D seems to be getting their hands on a lot of passes thus far. I hope that will translate into more turnovers during the season.  We really need to have an opportunistic group this year to give our young (and hopefully improved) offense easier scoring chances.

-There was a Chris Ellis sighting for any of those concerned.  He and Corey Mace had some first team reps. 

-The offense ran a lot of no-huddle today.  We saw some success with that last year, albeit it was brief, but I think we'll see more of it this year.  Trent seems like the type of QB that would excel in this scheme.  His accuracy on shorter passes, pocket awareness and hopefully the increased receiving workload from our RB's should enable this.

-Edwards didn't have the same success in the no-huddle as Gibran Hamdan did.  He's been getting the majority of the 2nd team reps.  Sounds like the staff will be giving him a long, hard look to see if it's worth keeping him as a 3rd QB or keeping another guy on the PS instead.

-Dwayne Wright and Xavier Omon had their moments today.

-Reed, Parrish and Schouman had some nice plays in the red zone today.  Schouman's name has been popping up a lot thus far.  I think they like his receiving ability and the more we hear his name and how he's play, the more I think he'll have a good shot at being the 3rd/4th TE and maybe backup FB.

-Schobel discusses his weight loss (which actually happened 6 years ago).  I never really thought he looked any lighter last, contrary to what many believed.  He was also very good against the run last year. The Bills were #1 or 2 against the rush off his end last year, if I recall correctly (too lazy to look it up right now).  Sounds like Aaron is a like perturbed at the suggestion that he lost too much weight last year and his play suffered.  He wasn't any different last year, except that he didn't get the same number of hustle sacks that he had in the past.  His pass rushing was just as inconsistent as year's past.

-The Bills may also be hesitant to use McKelvin on returns early on.  This wouldn't surprise me if the plan is to get him on the field defensively early and often.  I still don't see him starting right away, but he should be a big role in the nickel packages.  If McGee and Parrish were firmly entrenched as our returners, who've had a ton of success in years past, I would be surprised by this 'rumor'.  I think we'll see McKelvin get some returns this year as the season progresses, but he won't be a primary returner, nor should he be right away.
